Very cute.

I recently completed a self-imposed task of scanning and cataloging a bazillion family photographs. Some of them came from a great aunt who was born in 1890. Fascinating stuff.

Wow that is incredible! 1890? I have like this encyclopedic knowledge of dates, I can tell you exactly what was going on in that year. Oscar Wilde published "the picture of Dorian gray" "The adventures of Huckleberry Finn" was a best seller. Charlie Chaplin and Adolf Hitler were one year old, Wyoming and Idaho are admitted as the 43rd and 44th states, the US Army tried to take out the Lakota Indians resulting in 300 deaths in the Wounded knee massacre, it was so cold bodies froze in almost upright positions and they actually took photos of it...........
